Zapu admits failure

Comment & Analysis
BY NQOBANI NDLOVU   Zapu has admitted that it has failed to make an impact more than two years after it was revived and its leadership has called for a propaganda blitz to raise the party’s profile.

The Dabengwa-led party broke away from Zanu PF in 2008 citing unfulfilled promises made in the 1987 Unity Accord.

According to a memo to Zapu card-carrying members signed by secretary general Raphael Mguni, the party’s “propaganda information department needs oiling.”

Mguni in the two-page letter said the party was failing to garner nationwide support because its information department was not visible.

“A perception has been created in some quarters that the work which our Zapu leadership does is not visible or at least not visible enough; an insinuation even that some in the leadership have fallen asleep on the job,” read part of the memo.

Methuseli Moyo, the Zapu spokesperson confirmed that the memo was penned by Mguni.
